Although the function of sororities has been largely of a socii
nature, it seems to me that recently there has been a trend towat
cooperation with the war effort. If this trend continues, and it n
doubt shall, sororities can certainly help to direct our efforts towarc
a national as well as a personal end. The added incentive In doln
our part combined with the benefits of friendship, feeling of unit;
and mutual interests will, in my opinion, add rather than detrai
from college life during war time.

LETTERS

TO THE

EDITOR

I do not feel that sororities have a place on the campus durin
wartime or in peace. The social functions and aims of these organi
zations are, however, an essential part of college life. These same re
suits can be obtained through the efforts of one or two highly uniflc
groups on campus, which do not draw any restrictions as to member
ship, and which run be supported without requiring a large individur
expense. These groups can efficiently carry out the war work an
community projects, the importance of which lias been duly recognize
by the sororities. Full realization of the strong influence played b
the sororities on the social life of the women cannot be ignored. Till
advantage can be obtained through organizations which center aroun
a common nucleus of outside interests aiul avocations of the individua
members, rather than around personal characteristics, upon which th
sororities base their selections. There are some groups on campus noi
attempting to fulfill these purposes, To insure their complete success
without the present hindrances of divided interests and supcrfluou
expenses, we need the concentrated effort of the Women’s Colleg
of Middlebury as a unit.

Army, Navy V-12
QualificationTest
Scheduled Friday

In addition lo me recent Navy
announcement of their Qualifica¬
tion test, the Aimy has notified
the administration that this will
be a joint examination, and "urges
all E. R. C. men to take the test.”
The V-12 Qualification test for
the Army and Navy will be given
on Friday morning, April 2nd,
and is open to all male students
within the specified age limits
<17-20 years for the Navy, and
17-22 years for the Army) who
have not already been accepted
or enlisted in some other plan of
the Army or Navy.

All students expecting to take
this examination should obtain
an application blank at the Dean’s
j office. This must be properly filled
I out and certified before admis¬
sion to the test.

Certificate of Qualification

Those people that successfully
pass the V-12 Qualification test
will receive a certificate of quali¬
fication. This certificate is to be
presented a naval officer procure¬
ment board, when the applicant
receives orders to leport to the
Navy. For those in the Army, the
certificate should be presented to
their draft board on either volun¬
tary or involuntary induction. The
Navy has further specified that
those applying in the V-12 plan
will receive o.ders to report to a
naval board for an interview and
physical examinaton after they
receive their certificates.

Additional to the V-12 test, on
April 2nd, there has been a sec¬
ond announcement of a test for
those freshmen and sophomores
that are already enlisted in the
V-l, V-7, or Candidates Class
Marine Coips Reserve. These men
will be required to take a quali¬
fying examination on a day set
tentatively for April 20th. Further
details will be mailed separately
to the individuals concerned.

In line with these plans there
is also the announcement that
every man who is at the present
time enlisted in a naval program,
or in the Candidate Class Marine
Corps Rese.ve, will soon receive
a letter from Headquarters giv¬
ing detailed information and di¬
rections of their part in the Naval
Collea-e Training Program. They
will include a list of the accepted
colleges and universities, from
which the candidates may state
a preference. This will not be
guaranteed, but the requests will
be considered.

Navy Bulletins

Under this plan the Navy has
issued several bulletins explain¬
ing their system of schedules,
which states the number of
semesters each man will be al¬
lowed to take after entering ac¬
tive duty under the V-12 pro¬
gram. For those men entering un¬
der the Navy's specialized train¬
ing as chaplains, medical doctors
or dentists, twelve semesters or
the equivalent to six years of col- i

FRED HAW RES ’43
BECOMES ENSIGN

By Roy II. Kinsey, '45

One of eleven Middlebury men
to start his naval flight training
at Squantum last June, was Fred
C. Hawkes, '43. Typical of the
group, his presence last week-end
marked the finish of their general¬
ized training program.

After completing three months
of ground school and one month
of flying at Squantum, Fred was
sent to Corpus Christi, Texas, on
September 17th. On arrival the
group was split, according to the
choice of training. Corpus Christi
is the central base for a series of
near-by fields, each specializing
in one particular branch of the Air
Corps, such as torpedo bombers,
PBY's, or fighters.

As for life in Texas, Fred thinks
that there is no better place to be¬
come a pilot. He seemed to feel
that nowhere else would anyone
receive more flying time and indi¬
vidual training in the short period
that they are there. On finishing
the basic work at Corpus Christi
his service as a cadet ceased, and
he now wears the "coveted” wings
of the Navy Air Corps.

Every routine job has its out¬
standing feature, to Fred one of
the more personal, but interesting
parts was in his early training at
Squantum. It was here that they
were taught the rudiments of
flight, and in particular they
were drilled on landing' in tight
spots. Their object was a small
field surrounded by light pines
and spruce, and centered on the
knoll was a fifty foot circle. Ac¬
tually it seems, the main objec¬
tive of the cadets was not so
much the perfecting of a "spot”
landing, but to see how mar
branches they could bring back
entangled in their landing gaers.

While at Corpus Christi, they
weere instructed in night flying.
The first principles of this are
taught by having the pilots follow
each other at considerable dis¬
tance, flying a large rectangular
course, and landing once in each
revolution. The fun came in when
the distinction between the tail
light of the preceding plane and
the starry sky was no more. Fred
claims that many a cadet has set
course on a star only to find that
this objective while worthy of at¬
tempt, never could be reached.

Out of the eleven, Fred is alone
in his choice of the Marines for
his branch of the service. The
other men have either been sent
to Florida or other points for ad¬
vanced training in fighter planes,
or twin engine transports. In a
few days "Freddy" will return to
Fort Worth, Texas, for addition
fighter training. After about a
month of this he will be sent to
North Carolina for operational fly¬
ing under the Marines. Here he
will learn and develop the tactics
of Marine Corps strategy.

allowed to continue until they
have completed eight semesters.
An additional group, specified as
engineers in special fields, will
be required to take eight seme¬
sters of college work, in addition
to what they already have.

The men entering under basic
units, are also put on a semester
schedule.

j The intramural schedule is going
| on as usual despite the fact that
Coach "Red” Kelly has been taken
ill and is in the hospital with
pneumonia. Coach Brown has
taken over Red’s duties in his ab-
sense.

Now that the warm spring sun
| has dried off the freshman foot-
j ball field enough to make playing
possible, softball will be played
outside whenever weather permits.
The first outdoor game of the sea-
i son, an 18 to 0 whitewashing of
[ the Neutrals by S. P. E., was played
last Thursday.

The Sig Eps got off to a four-
run lead in the first inning and
added six more in the second to
[ remove any doubt of the game’s
outcome.

In the gym on Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week KDR and
Chi Psi handed ASP and DU their
first defeats of the season. KDR,
after trailing 5 to 1 in the fifth in¬
ning, rallied to score two in the
fifth and ten more in the lasf’two
innings and win from ASP by a
score of 13 to 8. Chi Psi spotted
DU two runs in the first inning
but came back to make three
themselves in the fourth and four
more in the fifth and take a lead
that they never relinquished, de¬
spite a late DU rally. The final
score was 12 to 7. Ed Fleming did
a commendable job pitching for
Chi Psi, DKE defeated ASP, 12
to 6.

Relays

In the eight medleys run last
week DU practically assured them¬
selves of retaining the cup they
won last year in this relay, Their
team of Frank, Dunham, Brown,
and Morehouse, met and defeated
both Theta Chi and ASP, the two
teams that promised to give them
the most trouble. In each race
Dick Morehouse. DU half-miler,
began his anchor leg behind his
opponent. Running against Theta
Chi he was not far behind and
closed the gap by the end of his
first quarter. From then on the
race was never in doubt. But Paul
Davis of ASP ran a very nice quar¬
ter and gave Don Gilmore a big
lead over Dick. Judging his pace
perfectly, the latter closed the gap
slowly but steadily, passing Don on
the last lap, and won by a scant
two-tenths of a second. The DU
time, the fastest thus far, was
3:56.

Other results in the medley were
as follows:

Neutrals, Chi Psi and ASP de¬
feated KDR, DKE and SPE, re¬
spectively: and DKE, Chi Psi, and
Theta Chi beat the Neutrals, SPE,
and KDR.

The sprint relay has also been
dominated by tire DU’s. Their
I team of Dunham. Brown, Hawkes,
and Morehouse nosed out the Deke
team last Friday to virtually as¬
sure themselves of first place.
Their time was 65 seconds flat.
The Deke time was 65.5 seconds. It
was Morehouse’s anchor lap that
won for DU.

Other results in the sprint were:
KDR, SPE, TC, and the Neutrals;
KDR, SPE, TC. an dthe Neutrals;
Theta Chi, DU, DKE, and SPE,
won over ASP, Chi Psi, KDR, and
j the Neutrals; and Theta Chi. ASP
and Chi Psi defeated SPE, KDR
and the Neutrals.

Iturbi, a well known person in j
music circles, not only plays the
piano but is a composer, and con¬
ductor. Since 1929 he has con¬
ducted symphony orchestras in
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cin¬
cinnati and unnumerable other of
our largest cities.

Early Start

The public life of an artist was
well known to Mr. Iturbi even at
the tender age of seven when he
played in cafes and picture
houses. With the help of the
kind and generous people of Val¬
encia the precocious pianist was
sent to the Paris Conservatory
from which he graduated with
first honors at 17. After spend¬
ing four years as head of the
piano faculty of the Conservatory
of Geneva he embarked upon the
life of a virtuoso.

Jose Iturbi arrived in the
United States in 1929 and was
hailed as a famous pianist. Since
that time he has turned to con¬
ducting and for seven years had
directed the Rochester Philhar¬
monic. Last spring his Soliloquy
was played by the Cincinnati
Symphony and since that time he
has included composing in his
musical realm.

Professors Invited
To Junior Tea
On April 7

In accord with annual custom
the social committee of the jun¬
ior class has made plans to en¬
tertain the faculty at a tea on
April 7. This event will be held
in Pearson’s living room, and al¬
ready various committees with
junior women at their head are
working on details.

Heading the social committee
is Harriet A. Bartels who is in
charge of the tea. Jane A. Stearns
is chairman of the refreshment
committee, and Helen A. Beards-
lee is in charge of serving,

Each faculty member will re¬
ceive an invitation to the tea and
will be entertained personally by
a junior class member.

This student tradition is re¬
ciprocation for the tea given at
the professor’s homes to fresh¬
men and senior women.

and religion. He went on to say |
that we owe our rational think- |
ing to science which was not so j
in the past when spiritualism was
injected to cover ignorance. We
can now believe what we see with¬
out recourse to the supernatural.

Miss Lacey, the third speaker,)
based her talk upon the frequent- |
ly heard statement, “I don’t have j
a scientific mind.” Her point was
that those who say this fail to
understand science because they
do not know the vocabulary, but
that actually the most complex
things can be explained by a non-
scientiflc vocabulary.

Pure and Practical Science
Dr. Reid, instructor of chemis¬
try, began to develop Dr. Kaiser’s
conceptions and, as he said,
would "indulge in prophecy.” He
divided science into that which
is theoretical, or pure science,
and practical science. The first he
stated is the best means by which
man understands the workings of
nature, and the second that
means by which he utilizes some
of that knowledge for the pur¬
pose of gaining a living.

Miss Bullock, the last speaker,
placed technological science above
pure science. She believes in
knowledge for utilization, which
causes her to defend applied
science as of primary importance.

After much enthusiastic discus¬
sion from the floor a partial con¬
clusion was reached based on the
idea that we actually have pure j
science and the humanities on
one side and technology on the
other. Dorothy J. Burton ’44, was
chairman for the evening.

Victory Concert to be given some¬
time in April. All the musical or¬
ganizations on the campus are
going to join together. Proceeds
of the concert will go to buy class¬
ical records for the boys in the
service. It will be the first con¬
cert of the year in which the!
choir has participated.
